Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
(-IY7O0L GROWERS favor present
W tariffs on wool." Such 1 the
word that cornea from Portland, where
the National Wool Growers' associa
tion Is In session.
Surely. And the butter men favor
the present tariffs on butter. The
poultrymen favor the present tariffs
on eggs. The lumbermen favor the
present tariff which Is exceedingly
new on lumber.
EVERYBODY In this country fa
vors a tariff on the thing he pro-
ducea.
AND why not?
Although buying power In this
oountry Is at present far below nor
mal, It Is still higher than the aver
age throughout the world. Our stan
dards of living are far below normal,
but they are far above the world
average. This Is still the greatest
market on earth.
Why shouldn't we keep this great
market of ours, or at least the bulk
of it, for ourselves?
THERE Is much talk to the effect
that toe new tariff t duties we
have laid upon the products of other
eountrles have caused other countries
to isy RETALIATORY tariff duties
upon our products a retaliatory tar
iff being one that Is designed for
the purpose of getting even.
So. It Is charged, we have killed the
goose that used to lay the golden egga
for us that Is to say, we have de
stroyed our own foreign trade by
Inviting these retaliatory tariffs.
One hears that story everywhere.
REALLY, It lsnt true.
The tariff walls that now block
commerce throughout the world are
largely the result of the flaming na
tionalism that came out of the war.
With blockades fresh In their minds,
almost every people on earth wanted
to become self-sufficient RIGHT
AWAY that la to say, they wanted
to produce within their own borders
all the things needed to fight a war.
Bo they started using tariffs as a
means of forcing self-sufficiency.
rear of Germany also contributed
to the raising of tariff walls after
the war. Almost every nation feared
that Germany, In an effort to pay
her reparations bill, would launch a
great selling offensive, flooding other
countries with cheap merchandise.
So tariff walls were raised to pre
vent THAT.
BUT, however the tariff walls came
to be raised, they are there. And
every country Is complaining bitterly
about EVERY OTHER COUNTRY'S
tariffs, but doing nothing In the wsy
of reducing Its own.
European countries, In particular,
a are making an awful fuss about the
AMERICAN tariff wall. They want
It torn down, so that they may send
their products into our markets, with
out anything to hinder them. They
want markets, and our great market
looks exceedingly good to them.
But they say nothing about re
ducing their own tariff walls.
UNCLE SAM. you see, hss been
BIO-HEARTED In the past. He
loaned Europe a lot of money, and
then FORGAVE most of the debt all
. of It, In fact, that was Incurred for
the actual fighting of the war, keep
ing on his books only the money
borrowed AFTER the war and has
been quite lenient about toe pay
ment of even that part.
Now Europe wants him to forgive
It ALL and Is flooding the world
with propsganda to that effect.
In the same way, Europe wants
Uncle Sam to tear down HIS tariff
walls, so that European products can
enter the American market freely.
but wants to keep her own tariff
walls up, so that American products
CANT enter European market.
It would be a grand scheme, If we
would fall for It. A grand scheme,
that Is, for everybody but us.
ASA matter of fact. Uncle Sam's
t tariff walls have been rather
effectively torn down by DEPRECI
A TED MONEY, and our markets are
being opened up to an astonishing
extent to the products of the coun
tries whose money Is depreciated In
value by toe fact that it hasn't got
gold back of It.
It works like this:
If you are a manufacturer, or a
producer of ANY SORT, agricultural
pr otherwise. In England, or Sweden,
or Cercho-Slovakla, or any country
with a depreciated currency, you sell

CONVENE JAN. 3
TO THRESH OUT
TAXPROBLEMS
Extra Session Needed to
Provide Laws in Advance
Regular Legislature for
Tax to Become Effective
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10. (AP)
Governor Jullua It. Meier. In a for
mal statement to the press here to
night, Issued a call for a special
session of the state legislature.
The special session, called to at
tack problems of taxation and relief,
Is scheduled to convene, Tuesday,
January 3, less than a week before
the regular session will open Janu
ary 0.
Governor Meier pointed out that
the special session is called, even If
only a week before the regular ses
sion, because 90 days must elapse
following adjournment of a legisla
tive session before the laws It en
acted become operative. Hence, a tax
law passed at the regular session
would not take effect until the last
part of May, a date considered too
late to help the tax situation, while
tax measures adopted at the special
session will be operative Aplrl 7.
Must Provide Revenue
No recommendation Is specifically
made as to the form the tax program
should take, but the executive In
his statement said that, despite econ
omies In state government, revenues
have decreased to the point where
they are insufficient, and that a
property tax must be revived unless
the legislature - finds some other
source of revenue.
In conferences between Governor
Meier and business and legislators,
a sales tax has been talked of sym
pathetically as an emergency means
of clearing up vie state's financial
situation without restoration of the
property tax. Governor Meier's state
ment tonight, however, did not rec
ommend thla or any other specific
form of taxation.
Kiddle to Preside
It Is believed mechanics of the spe
cial session will be simple. Follow
ing a caucus In Salem January 3,
the senate and house will organize
January 3. Fred E. Kiddle of Union
county Is understood already to have
sufficient votes pleged to elect him
president of the senate and Earl W.
Snell of Gilliam county likewise Is
said to have enough votes pleged to
elect him speaker of the house. Each
presiding officer will appoint a reso
lutions committee and a committee
on taxation. Senate and &ouse com
mlttees on taxation will meet Jointly.
Legislators here pointed out tonight
that by suspension of the rules the
Joint committee can launch Into
hearings by Wednesday. This would
enable three days for hearings and
the tax measures could be passed
Saturday. The session would then
adjourn, to reconvene the following
Monday for Its regular session.
Meier's Statement
The governor's statement follows:
I have determined to convene the
37th legislative assembly In special
session an January 3, 1933. I have
decided to take this act. " in order
that a determination mat had of
the question as to whether or not
we shall retain as part of our sys
tem for raising state revenue the
property tax, handed down to us
from feudsl days.
The elimination of this antiquated,
burdensome and Inequitable tax
from our state levy has been arid
still la one of the major objectives
of my administration.
Furthermore, the , state is faced

CAUSING EPIDEMIC
OF HOWIE BLAZES
Overheating stoves during the ex
tremely cold weather was the cause
given by Fire Chief Roy Elliott for the
series of fires over the week end,
which Included damage to the Geo.
Marshall residence at 1113 South
Oakdale avenue and several chim
ney fires. The chief issued warning
yesterday against building excessive
blazes which might cause damage.
Yesterday forenoon the department
was called to the Jim Dally residence
at 830 East Ninth street to extin
guish a chimney blaze, and Friday
two flue fires were extinguished by
the department at the Gene Thomas
residence at 222 South Holly street
and at O. W. Foster's at 115 Park.
Considerable damage was done to
the George Marshall four-room resi
dence at 1113 South Oakdale late
Friday night, when fire broke out
presumably from an overheated stove.
The Amos Turn bows were ' residing
at the place, and discovered the fire
when the roof blazed. Where the

services would have a permanent rl
atlve valuation.
The second would be to elaborate
the gold monetary system to fulfill
efficiently the requirement of mod
ern business and the needs of the
people.
This, O'Hearn believes, calls for
two primary requisites: (a) A fixed
monetary valuation between wheat
and sliver; (b) a flexible monetary
calculation as between the new ill
ver-wheat standard and gold.
O'Hearn suzgeets that Inasmuch as
one ounce of sliver and one bushel
of wheat are now approximately at
the same price, the future standard
of value for all commodities and
services be on the basis of one ounce
of silver equalling one bushrl of
I wheat.

LEVY FOR STATE
19 MILLS, BELIEF
State and county levy for the com
ing year will "not be far from 10
mills,' In the opinion of County As
sessor J. B. Coleman. The state levy
la expected to be approximately 0.3
mills and the county levy between
13.5 and 14 mills. This does not
Include the city and special road
and school levies. To date only one
Incorporated city of the county has
filed with the county clerk Its city
levy. Forty-one of the 101 school
districts of the county have yet to
submit their school budgets.
The Jackson county levy, accord
lng to present indications, will be a
couple of mills less than last year.
Publlo hearing of the budget is
scheduled for December 33. The bud
get committee made Its compilations
after consulting with various tax or
ganization committees and citizens.
Later the efforts of the budget com
mittee were endorsed.
The coming session of the legisla
ture, will govern in a large degree
Vie future tax levies of the counties
of the state and It Is expected that
whatever tax relief measure la passed
It will be the target of a special elec
tlon.
Two Items said to loom before the
legislature will be reduction of auto
license fees and sales tax. The fight
Is expected to center on the latter.
as there Is no opposition to a lower
license. The State Orange has an
nounced its opposition to a sales tax
and the upstate and metropolitan
chain stores are cited as also oppos
ing It.
The Jackson county budget com
mlttee made no provision for funds
for an election, as it figured the
county could get by one year without
vote upon any man or measure.
The average Jackson county election
costs M0O0. This year $8000 was
allowed an there was both a primary
and a general election.

BIG DEPARTMENTS
WASHINGTON, Deo. 10. (AP) A
sharply cut money bill, for the first I
time In many years carrying less
than a billion dollars for the treas
ury and postofflce departments, was
recommended to the house today by
Its appropriations committee. De-,
creases brought the total for these
two big departments down to $0fll,
410,000 for the next fiscal year. The
cuts extended even to the coast
guard, although Admiral Harry O.
Hamlet, the commandant, told the
committee he expected greater rum-
running activities in the next two
years.
Hamlet said legalizing beer of low
alcoholic content, which, the house
ways and means committee Js consid
ering, "will have no effect whatever
on the smuggling of distilled spirits
into Vie United States from the sea."
But, despite that testimony, the
proprlatlons committee recommended
that his branch's allotment for 1034
be reduced from this year's 938,173,
000 to $25,773 ,000.
